The Fiction of the Science: Robert Wong (Future of StoryTelling 2013)

In his work at the Google Creative Lab, Robert Wong never imagined he would be influencing the future of scientific development—and yet he does just that, breaking down the boundary between art and science by creating stories that inspire engineers and the technology they build.

He says that this kind of collaboration between art and science, between story and fabrication, is essential for scientific and creative innovation.

This should be the same for civil engineering, which I think it is falling behind
